To put a little perspective on how these "silent promotions" work, here's how the promotion / demotion process works for higher ups. It varies a bit from division to division, but it's in general the same.
A thread/discussion is created for promotions and demotions All prospective (Both members that have applied and not applied) staff are discussed thoroughly All higher ups of the division get input All community managers/Aegean can see all discussion Feedback must be valid, and is under scrutiny of all higher ups, including CMs/CLs (CSGO exclusive?) Goes through chat logs to see how they interact when staff is not available Use GameME to see activity on servers Higher ups come to a unanimous decision After discussion, approval goes to CMs We almost never disagree upon decisions, I honestly cant remember the last time we rejected someone If the prospective staff hasn't applied, they should be contacted to see if they would accept the position To my knowledge, this hasn't always been followed, but we will certainly follow up with higher ups to ensure that this happens In addition, +1/-1 on a staff application is not entirely representative of if someone will be promoted. We appreciate your feedback, but someone who receives all +1s is not guaranteed to get staff, just as someone who receives majority -1s is not guaranteed to not get staff. Everything is always taken on a case by case basis. Getting "Chummy" with higher ups is not necessarily a way to get staff (see @Jaydow CSGO Division Manager position). I can safely say that there's nothing more annoying than someone asking for staff, and they almost never get promoted any time soon. Obviously, getting to know higher ups is going to get you promoted quicker, as they'll know you better. Honestly, that's life, anyone who's been working before knows that the better relationship you have with your boss, you're probably going to get promoted quicker. This also assumes that you deserve to be promoted, as I've gotten to know people better and realized "Wow, I'll never promote that guy" before, even when I like them as a person.
As for bad staff, staff are held to a high standard. Of course, you learn through mistakes, and our staff are people too. But for example, toxicity and abuse will never be tolerated, and its quiet easy to remove staff that don't deserve powers. Anyone can post a staff abuse thread, and demotions can occur without a staff abuse thread. I've found that many times that people don't want another person to be staff hasn't actually been due to if the person does or doesn't deserve staff, but more personal vendettas against one another.
Edit: I'll also be moving this to General, as this applies to all divisions

This is becoming extremely petty, regardless of what you think of Goldfish, being annoying isn't enough of a contributing factor to remove his membership. I also have been in discord multiple times where you all egg on Goldfish and when he says something back in frustration, you all gang up on him. 

@Lottamos I'm telling you right now, you seriously also need to improve your attitude. I know you're young but you should seriously consider improving your attitude and not trying to make everything into an argument.

Unless Lithium thinks this has any validity, I'm closing this thread for now.

If a cell vent is broken at the beginning of the round, obviously a T knifed the vent so you are free to pursue. That being said, you need to see them actively breaking it in order to kill them if they are not already in the vent. Even if there is only one of them.

 
In agreement that you should be watching them. I assume you are talking about a map like moonjail where someone can get to the finish tele exit via the normal exit. In that case, if you did not see them and are skeptical, I would make them start over again. Then just make sure you are watching the exit this time.

A good rule of thumb for a lot of cases, if you or another guard did not see it happen, do not shoot. If you do, you are taking a gamble that you will be freekilling.

please take him from us

You must have 12 hours minimum to apply for member. Please re-apply once you qualify.

what was the point of this? ? 

In the future, please post last ct suggestions to this thread
 

Anyways, it doesn't seem like anyone else needs to put their 2 cents, he clearly understands what he needs to do to get vouches for the future.
~Closed

Not going to unban as this is a second offense and the ban lengths have been quite lenient already.

hmmm

Jailbreak
You can no longer spam over round change to get Warden. Fixed spectator chat printing twice. Fixed Warden icon not disappearing under certain conditions. Rebel LRs now give the T armor. Freedays will now occur if no one takes warden at the start of the round Warden is now passed after a T gets LR. Fix Russian Roulette and Gun Toss occasionally giving extra reserve ammo

That's a BIG doink my dude

You must have a minimum of 50 posts on the forums in order to apply.

Its completely unreasonable to think that someone is going to do an offense to get up to a month ban, then purposefully wait 6 months (Or more) so they won't get a permanent ban.
 

 
I feel like you're underestimating your admins. They should easily be able to memorize ban timings. Even if they cant, they can always pull up the forums and reference a thread/guide.
Additionally, admins should already be trusted to use their own discretion in some regards. Its perfectly reasonable to assume admins can see minor offenses and not be like "GOTTA FLEX ON THESE HOES" and hit em with an unreasonable ban. Not every offense is equal, and should not receive equal punishment. Obviously every ban is situational, and admins should be trusted to make the right decisions. They are (Hopefully) admins for a reason.
 

 
I highly doubt anyone will be constantly trying to get month banned while avoiding a perm. Anyone who truly wants to grief the servers will do so by other means.
